Cassius Turner carried a box of fruits into the courtyard, only to see Delphine standing by the windowsill, lost in thought. The young, slender woman had delicate, fair features, her beauty tranquil like still water.
The refined, fair-skinned young professor had been delivering items to the courtyard daily in recent days. They were not expensive gifts, only imported foods and fruits. In an effort to reduce the class disparity between them, Wilbur Turner made a point of personally carrying the deliveries himself.
"Professor Turner, there's really no need to bring anything next time you come." Delphine frowned slightly as she noticed Cassius bringing more items. She was already deeply indebted to him.
Cassius set the fruit down inside the house, smiling as he said, "If I don't bring fruits, how could I have the nerve to come and freeload a meal?"
